This week's warming trend continues Thursday, and it may bring some rain to the Volusia-Flagler area.

The National Weather Service in Melbourne forecasts a 30 percent chance of rain, with the chances for an isolated thunderstorm increasing after lunch time.

Skies will be mostly cloudy, and high temperatures will reach near 80 degrees.

A south wind of 5 to 10 mph will increase to 10 to 15 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph.

High winds off the shore of Volusia and Flagler will kick up 4- to 6-foot seas making boating for small crafts risky, forecasters said.

Rip currents will also be elevated and swimmers are asked to enter the water near a lifeguard.

Tonight, a 30 percent chance of showers is also expected. Mostly cloudy skies with a low around 65 degrees will prevail.

In traffic news, two vehicle crashes were reported earlier Thursday morning in Volusia. One wreck with injuries and no fatality occurred at Third Court and June Terrace near DeLand while the second with no reports of injuries happened at U.S. Highway 92 and Jacobs Road east of DeLand.
